Nigeria spent 61 billion dollars to ensure South Africans freedom!

This was spent between the 60s to 1995

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

Dear South Africans,

Remember we did this for you and today you hurt Nigerians

Is this how to appreciate those that suffered for your freedom


In 1976, Nigeria established the Southern Africa Relief Fund (SARF) to support anti-apartheid liberation struggles. Under the military administration of General Olusegun Obasanjo, all Nigerian civil servants and public officers were mandated to contribute 2% of their monthly salaries to the fund, which became popularly known as the "Mandela Tax". [1, 2]
The grassroots and public initiative was highly successful: [1, 2]
•Initial Government Support: General Obasanjo's administration contributed $3.7 million to SARF, alongside personal donations of $3,000 from the General himself and $1,500 from each cabinet member. [1]
•Public Participation: Civil servants forfeited 2% of their salaries, and students actively skipped lunches to donate their allowances. [1]
•Fundraising Milestone: In just six months, popular contributions reached $10.5 million by June 1977.[1]
•Broader Aid: These funds were utilized to bring relief to victims of the apartheid regime, finance educational opportunities, and support the general welfare of liberation movements. This contribution was part of an estimated $61 billion that Nigeria spent between 1960 and 1995 toward the anti-apartheid struggle. [1, 2, 3]

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry into the USA ahead of the World Cup, has now been appointed by UEFA to officiate PSG vs. Aston Villa in the Super Cup final.

[GiftedHands @Sire_Gift]

In 2009/10, Chelsea lost to Aston Villa at Villa Park, took the return leg personal and had to reply back with a 7-1 win at Stamford Bridge with Lampard ending the game with 5G/A.

Chelsea players were literally scoring goals for fun under Ancelotti, man.

Was this Chelsea’s greatest Champions League comeback at Stamford Bridge? 🤔💙 #CFC

🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics

"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."

"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."

"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."

"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."

"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."

"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."

"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."

"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."

"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."

On behalf of the Kano People, I hereby refute the falsehoods propagated by our current Vice President, Kashim Shettima, that Lagos raise and made Dangote and BUA the richest black men in the World.

~Facts are Stubborn.

- Dangote and BUA have amassed their wealth and businesses through inheritance from their parents and grandparents. Which of the residents of Lagos has ever provided a loan to Dangote or sold goods to him that surpasses the transactions of Kano traders?

- Dangote and BUA have expanded their businesses and accumulated wealth primarily from the Northern region, particularly the Northwest. The quantities of Sugar, Cement, Pasta, and Flour that have been sold in the North far exceed what the entire Southern region consumes, not just Lagos alone.

- The financial contributions of Dangote and BUA to the people of Lagos are over a million times greater than the benefits they have derived from Lagos, a privilege that the people of Kano have never experienced.

The Fall of DSTV

DSTV raised its subscription prices three times in two years.

Then it lost 1.4 million Nigerian subscribers in those same two years.

Then it slashed its decoder price by 50% to beg those subscribers to come back.

Some people will call it business strategy but this is a company eating itself alive and wondering why it is hungry.

The numbers are brutal.

MultiChoice lost 2.8 million active subscribers across Africa over two financial years. 1.2 million in 2025 alone. An 8% year on year decline. 

Nigeria accounted for 77% of subscriber losses across all of MultiChoice’s African operations outside South Africa. The Rest of Africa base collapsed from 9.3 million in 2023 to 7.5 million in 2025. 

Nigeria did not just leave DSTV, they buried it and the content is leaving with the subscribers.

BET Africa and MTV Base shut down January 2026. CBS Reality and CBS Justice went December 2025. CNN International, Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, TNT Africa, Food Network and several others were all at risk of removal. 

A platform charging premium prices while removing the channels people subscribed for is not a product anymore but a subscription to disappointment.

DSTV built its Nigerian dominance on a monopoly with no serious competition for decades. So it did what every monopoly does when it feels untouchable. It raised prices whenever it wanted, reduced value whenever it could, and treated Nigerian subscribers like they had no alternative.

Then Netflix arrived. Then YouTube got faster. Then data became more accessible. Then the naira collapsed and Nigerians had to choose between DSTV and eating.

Omo we chose eating.

MultiChoice responded by cutting decoder prices from N20,000 to N10,000 and launching a promotional campaign called “We Got You”.

“We Got You” from the same company that raised your subscription three times in 24 months, removed your favourite channels, and treated your complaints like background noise.

They did not get you, they lost you and now they are running after you with a discount like an ex who only calls when they realise you moved on.

DSTV is not falling because of Netflix or the economy.

It is falling because it spent twenty years treating Nigerian consumers with contempt and assumed loyalty was the same thing as having no choice.

Nigerians finally got a choice but not MultiChoice

Keep believing until it becomes real. Don’t stress about how or when it will happen. Trust the process, trust yourself, and allow life to unfold in your favor.

[Lawrence Kitema @lawrencekitema]

Never lose yourself trying to be accepted by a world that changes overnight. Today they applaud you; tomorrow they move on. Beauty fades. Real tragedy is waking up and realizing you abandoned yourself to be loved by people who were never going to stay.

Yesterday, some Nigerians dropped their account no. for a bandit on TikTok for giveaway, and the bandit credited them with ransom money. This highlights our core issue: the average citizen enables crime. When DSS traces his funds to you, expect arrest & jail time alongside him.
